These burgers, made with fish, are packed with fresh and spicy flavours.

What is sriracha? It’s a Thai hot sauce made from chili pepper, vinegar, and garlic with some sugar and salt. If you don’t like spice, you can reduce or eliminate the amount of sriracha.

This recipe includes healthy omega-3 fatty acids from salmon, monounsaturated fats in the olive oil, antioxidants from the chili pep- pers, lemon, and onion, and cannabinoid-rich basil and black pepper to produce an entourage effect and really stimulate your ECS—perfect!


Method:

  • Break the salmon into large chunks and place in food processor. Add the basil to the bowl. Pulse until salmon and basil are just broken down into small pieces.

  • Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, green onions, sriracha, salt, sugar, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is smooth. Divide into 6 portions and shape into burger patties.

  • Heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium high heat. Coat bottom of pan with oil. When oil is hot, add the burgers to the pan and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2–3 minutes. Turn over and sauté on the other side until golden brown.

  • Serve on buns with lettuce and tomato slices.
